Earlier this week, investigators found Armando Manuel Caballero, a primary person of interest in Marcano’s disappearance, had been found dead in Seminole County, Fla., of an apparent suicide.

Authorities did not specify when exactly Caballero died, but when his body was discovered, Mina said he had been dead for «quite some time.

HELP FIND MIYA: Miya Marcano is still missing. We suspect foul play. Person of interest Armando Caballero was found dead today. It appears he killed himself.

Caballero, who worked at Marcano’s apartment complex, had access to a master key in which he used to let himself inside Marcano’s apartment at about 4:30 p.m. last Friday, Mina told reporters during an update Monday.

«We believe that the suspect that we had named, Armando Caballero, is responsible, Mina said. «We don’t know all the circumstances involved in what happened there. He was obviously the prime suspect.

As of Friday, authorities are offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of Marcano.
